A Renault FT-17 Tank From John Jenkins Designs Arrives

I just picked up a 1:30th scale rendition of the WW1 French Renault FT-17 tank by John Jenkins Designs. Except for the overly dark colors, this is a nice replica, with an attempt at chipping to make it look more realistic. Here's a picture:Image

JJ makes very nice ww 1 amours and planes. His tanks have good details, excellent painting and nice tracks.

JJ's figures are excellent too. I recently purchased a WWI marching 'Dough boy'. I like all of their tanks. I wish JJ would get into WWII and beyond.

That is a pretty awesome model. 8)

JJ stuff is very nice, but don't have any myself. Looks like they are worth the price, but not for the "average" collector.
